A step forward for Forest Management planning and logistics

A step forward for Forest Management planning and logistics

With the integration of Microsoft’s Bing orthophotos (Aereal Photographs) in the PROGIS technologies WinGIS and Forest-Office, there is now a whole planet of data at the disposal for planning future forest management and agricultural solutions.

With Europes lastest addition in 30 cm resolution, starting from next year the latest and most detailed aereal photographs will be avaible. These will not have to be bought. Instead each each click is payed, which keeps the prices down. Microsoft plans an update frequency of five years. In some European countries group licenses for user groups have already been negotiated but in other countries in and outside Europe there has been shown a great interest in this technology.

Until today, Orthophotos had to be bought from private or public for a lot of money. Now a modern planning tool is available with this technology. With the purchase of the software the Orthophoto-problem is automatically solved.

If one wants to overlay the for example the field of agriculture onto the cadastral map with LPIS-data (Land Parcel Information System), then it’s simple to order and import it to a standard format such as “Shape”.

After INSPIRE Google or Bing-base data is being used – It’s rapid, unbureaucratic and inexpensive. In addition to this, the digital data will be avaible for private companies in the future. Thus there will be global data, which means that what is seen with 30cm resolution in Europe, will be avaible in Africa or other regions with 50cm or 1m resolution – and if these qualities are too low GPS or DGPS can be imported.
